Linus figures that Charlie Brown's problem is that he's in love and, even worse, it's the next-to-last day of school, meaning that if he doesn't make his move soon, he'll have to wait all summer for another chance. On the way to school, he tells Linus that he wishes that he could at least have lunch with this little red-haired girl, who's riding a bus that passes them. (But then again, Valentine's Day, as I've said before, is not a holiday I'm into at all, so maybe it does fit in an ironic kind of way.)Ĭharlie Brown, like always, is miserable, feeling that nobody likes him and saying that he can't enjoy himself, not even at lunchtime. Even the ending, which seems hopeful enough, may not have as much of a silver lining as you might think, as we'll get into, so this definitely represents one of the lowest points of Charlie Brown's abnormally long childhood.

I can remember when my mom and I watched a lot of these specials at one time and she, who likes the Peanuts as much as I do, was taken aback by the sheer mental torture Charlie Brown is put through here. Since I did Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown last year, I decided I wanted to do another Peanuts special for the holiday this year and chose this one, which I hadn't actually watched in a while and, as a result, had completely forgotten just how downright mean-spirited it gets. And the kicker of it is that I decided to do this one for Valentine's Day simply based on the title. It was the only the fourth of these specials, so they were probably still seeing how far they could go with the rather melancholy nature of the comic strips, but few of them have come as close to reaching it as this one did (which is probably why it hasn't been rerun since 1972). There are some moments that are genuinely funny, mind you, but for the most part, it's pretty savage stuff, making me think that Charles Schulz must have been at a really low point with his chronic depression, which I've heard was at its absolute worst during this period. Yeah, this was tough to rewatch, as it is little more than 25 minutes of Charlie Brown getting crapped on, bullied, berated, embarrassed, and constantly missing the chance to introduce himself to the girl he has a crush on.
